PayPal - Certificate of posting.

sharpy2010

Just logged onto PayPal and paid for some postage to stick on some items I've sold.

Does anyone know if its possible to turn off the "certificate of posting" that comes out along with the postage itself?

The postage comes out on page 1, and the certificate on page 2. I won't need the certificate, so it would be great if it could be turned off in some way and stopped from printing?

Cheers!

Can you not just use print preview and just select the page you want to print?

Just print one page.

I tried that, I just selected one page... ah hang on I might've selected one copy of the entire thing...

I'll try just printing one page and let you know how I get on, next time I've an order to fulfil.

Cheers!

On vaguely similar lines, I use Interparcel for couriers and I have to print off a Shipping document with a Barcode plus an Address Label.

Fortunately each is under half a page so I print the shipping document, reverse and reload the part printed paper sheet and then print the address label on the same side at the unused end. That means I have only used one sheet of paper and I have only one piece of paper to stick to the parcel.

I probably saved myself about 25 sheets of A4 and ten inches of sellotape last year.

An alternative: use a pdf printer (like pdfcreator; download software free from the internet). If selected as your printer, it produces a pdf of the full document which you save on your computer, and normally opens the document in a pdf reader (Adobe or other). You then can print the page you need and you are still able to print the other page(s) later.

You really don't need an A4 POP, if printing more than one thing it is easier to use the bulk POP form, even for one it is cheaper to use a POP from the pad that the Post Office use

Sorry,you've lost me lol

How do you do a bulk POP & how do you get one from the PO if you've used Paypal,I thought you had to print your own,how can you get one from the PO for a Paypal item?

You don't have to use the one that is printed with paypal, it is easier to do your own.

You can download a bulk one here:

or ask the Post office (or royal mail if you have a business account) for a pad of the pre printed ones.

I do the bulk one myself and just clip it into a loose leaf folder each day when I get back from the post office. If I had to do an A4 sheet for every package I wouldn't be able to move for paper everywhere!

Just popping back to confirm that this does indeed work, thanks for the advice!
